[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 1273550, member: 84"]I found this at a estate sale last week end & bought it for $50. It had "Dark Orange tiles" written on a note taped to the top. The tiles were wrapped in saran wrap to protect them - it looked like someone was trying to protect a old set of bakelite tiles. Bur when I opened the wrapping on the tiles they didn't feel like plastic - which is what bakelite feels like, right? Is there a way to tell what they are made of? Any idea how old the set is? Thank you for any info!
